Is it organic soy lecithin? If not, it is GMO derived

It does have soy lecithin. Sorry, I do not know if it is organic or GMO derived.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, NOW Foods does not indicate that this product is organic or non-GMO, so we have to assume that it is possible the ingredients used could be GMO derived. For a definite answer, our best suggestion would be to contact NOW Foods directly. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. ~Juliana

I wondered this same question, so I emailed the company. It took them a really long time to respond, and by that time I had moved on to a different brand that did clearly state it was non-GMO on the bottle. But here is the response they gave me: MK7 is derived from non-GMO soy. It is not a certified organic product. Additionally, the soybean oil and primrose oil are non-GMO MK7 comes from natto, which is fermented by the bacteria bacillus subtilus. Best Regards, Sarah Jarrow Formulas,Inc. info@jarrow.com

Soy has just been recently approved to go GMO by the USDA. This product still has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval if that is worth anything any longer. Nowhere on the label does it say organic. It still tastes the same as it always has. You might try EWG since they give the pesticide levels in many popular foods. High pesticide levels means it GMO. Search for EWG - Environmental Working Group. Hope this helps a little.

When I bought it a few months ago it had sunflower lecithin and says it is free of soybeans. I react badly to soy and have not had a reaction with it at all.

It contains lecithin derived from soybeans. Lecithin is phosphatidylcholine, and is an essential component of our bodies. It's put in powdered milk to help the "cream" dissolve. Otherwise, your reconstituted milk would be full of little clumps. Lecithin can be obtained from a lot of foods including eggs and fish. By itself it is sold as a nutritional supplement. The chance of this causing an allergic reaction in a person sensitive to soybeans is vanishingly low.

Yes it is a liquid soy lecithin. I think if you read reviews you will get a detailed description from one of the customers. I got the granulated for my raw recipes and that works great for me. I love it so much I munch a tbsp of it right from can.

I looked this one up because I was concerned about the soy content as well. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-966-LECITHIN.aspx?activeIngredientId=966&activeIngredientName;=LECITHIN If you'll notice, the Lecithin looks to be a fat to help aid absorption etc. I'm going to go ahead and try this as it seems to be the best one I've found so far.

Guess I should have itemized my query more clearly. Thanks for your kind reply. Still would like to know:1. Is it sunflower lecithin? I don't want soy. And 2. What is the shelf life?

Swanson Sunflower Lecithin Granules (Non-GMO) is what I purchased thru Amazon.com, and it is a very good product. Right now, I don't have the container so that I could give you more information, but I think if you want to order this product thru Amazon, you would be very pleased with the product and you would be able to contact Swanson directly if you have any other questions. Good luck to you - - I don't think you're going to be disappointed!! Judy Grimm

i just bought the 1.1lb container and the ingredients listed are: undenatured whey protein isolate, non-GMO lecithin, natural vanilla flavor. Then in bold letters it states "contains milk, soybeans" so sadly, this is not the supplement for you if you are trying to avoid soy.

From the Fearn's website: "Non-GMO continues to evolve and, at present, we can confirm that our Soya Granules, Soya Powder, 100% Soya Protein Isolate, Liquid Lecithin and Lecithin Granules are non-GMO."

Great question and thank you for calling this to our attention. It is soy lecithin. The shipped product is correctly labeled with soy lecithin in both places.

No "organic" labeling. The whey is from cows not treated with rBGH. Lecithin is from non-GMO sunflower seeds. Sweetened with Stevia. Usually I Dont like Stevia, but can't taste its unique flavor in this protein powder. NO...MSG, Acesulfame-K, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, cholesterol, artificial colors, aspartame, sucralose, lactose, or sugar. The only downside I can see, is if you have allergies, it is produced in a factory that processes all the major allergens. I absolutely love this product.

Just confirming the other answers here, but the bottle I ordered from Amazon shows 100% Soy Lecithin as the only ingredient.

I did not end up using this product, as I found out this product has Soy Lecithin. Soy is sprayed with Round UP. It does not kill the genetically modified plant but I do not want to have any Weed Killer in my diet. So, I am unable to answer the scoop question.

After reading the label, carefully scrutinizing for soy or soy derivatives such as soy lecithin, I found no indication of any soy product. Interestingly though, their is no statement made to indicate that this is a soy-free product either.Commonly, a label will state either "Soy-Free" or "Contains Soy". This says neither.
